COOLING AND DISPENSING DEVICE.V

.Application filed February 28, 1927.

This invention relates to means for cooling and dispensing liquids and is an improvement upon a device tor this purpose disclosed in Patent No. 1,594,248, granted to me July 27, 1926. V H

`An object ot the present invention is to provide means tor agitating liquid within a container so as to lieep the liquid properly stirred andl ready for use.

Another object ot the invention is theA provision of means for introducing liquidv into the liquid Compartment or container without the necessity or opening-the same; Janother object of the inventlon 1s to provide a liquid container' in which the liquid novel features and detail-s of construction,v

to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a sectional view of a. liquid container constructed inaccordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a like view showing a moditied form of the invention.

Referring to the drawings in detail wherein liliecharacters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 irulicates a container which is preferably made vot glass or other transparent n'iaterial and in which is positioned a' similar container 11. The containers 10yand 11 are concentrically arranged and are supported upon a container 12, whichl forms a base for the containers 10 and 11.

The container 12 is provided with a recess or depression 13 in its top to receive the .container 10, while ia nipple 14 extends through all of the containers and has a water tight connection therewith, after the manner of the connection in the patentpres.

vion-sly referred t0. The container 10 is adapted to contain liquid to be dispensedl while the container 11 is adapted to contain ice to cool the liquid. and water` from the ice will drain into the container 12, `from Serial N0. 171,659.

where it may be removed by means of a suitable drain' cock. A spigot 15 is provided for removing the liquid from the container 10. The container 10 lis provided with a removable cover T, which also torins a cover ior the ice container 11.

Extending through the container -12 is a pipe 1G. This pipe extends upwardly into the container 1G and is adapted to have its outer end connected with a suitable source of liquid supply, so that liquid may be forced in the container 10 without removing the cover T and permitting ot' the escapeV of cold air. Y f

An additional pipe 17y extends through the container 12 into the containervlO and this pipe is adapted to be connected to a suitable source ot pressure, the purpose being to keep the liquid within the container 10 agitated, or stirred up` and have it at all times ready for use. This is especiallydesi able in certain characters'of liquid.

Extending through an opening 18 provided in the top 16 is an agitator element 19 which is designed to be manually operated to agitate the liquid in case it is not desired to use air pressure.

In the torni of the invention illustrated in Figure 2, the apparatus is substantially theA same except that the container 10l eny closes both a liquid container 10b and an ice container 11, These containers are concentrically arranged, so that the liquid within the container 10b is Isubjected to the cooling action of ice around its outside, as well as upon the inside. It is of course obvious that either the outside ice container 10a or the inside ice container 10h may be dis penseel with, as the containers are removably securedv together by a nipple connection 14 similar to the connection 14.

In the construction disclosed in Figure 27 the pipes 16a and 17 extend up through the nipple 14a. These pipes are of sectional formation with` the sections connected by` elbows 20, so that in taking the apparatus apart, these pipe sections may be removed.

The cover T extends across the containers, so that all three of the containers are covered thereby. The cover T is provided with an opening 18 for the use of a manually operated agitator if desired. Y

`A; spigot 21 extends from the container 10b through the outer wall of the container 10'a for Idispensing liquid;`

As in the form of the invention disclosed llo in the patent referred to, it Will be ,apparent that should the container 1201' the container l2a overflow, the Water will hack up into the central container 1l or lla und may he readily seen through the transparent Wells of the containers. t

It is of course apparentthnt a suitable refrigerator coil muy be substituted for the ice in the ice containers.

The invention is susceptible of Various changes in its torni,` proportions and minor details of construction andthe right is hereiirreserved to ineke suoli changes es properly fell Within the scope oi the appended claims. i

If desired, the pipe 17 muy he provided with n number of nir Aescupe openings, so that pressure will be distributed throughout the depth of the liquid.

In addition to supplyingr air for ngitzitn ing the liquid, the pipes '1T und 17?* muy he connected with n supply of heated nir sous to heat the liquid and et the sume tiine keep the liquid agitated. Oi course, when het nir is supplied to the liquid, the use of ic will he dispensed with. Y

Having described the invention what `is claimed is i LA device of thecluss described coinprsing un inner und outer container,` n conrtniner forming n hose4 for the inner and outer containers and communicating with the inner eontainer,` a pipe"` extending ftniner forming; e heee for the inner und outer `containers und eoinniunicntiner With the inner container, u pipe through the here container und through the center and hase container `coinnninie:itiniineens und hurling; its inner end entendingt;` over the top of the inner container into the outer conteiner to provide ineens vfor intro extending i ducing` :tir under pressure to the contents of i the outer container :1nd a similarly arranged pipe to introduce liquid into the container.

3. n. device oi' the class deseribed comprising innernnd outer containers, n eon deiner forming e heee for the inner und outer containers, u ren'iovnbie nippie extending :from the inner container into the huso und providingl communication, n pipe ei;- tendingj through the bese container, through seid nipple `into the inner container' und having its inner end extending' over the top oi` said inner container into the outer con tuiner und e vlnueet furthe outer container.
